Definitions
- the present invention relates to an adhesive guiding device, an adhesive application device, and an adhesive application method.
- adhesives such as adhesive sheets and adhesive tapes are used for bonding various adherends such as metal, glass, wood, paper, cardboard, and plastic materials.
- adherends such as metal, glass, wood, paper, cardboard, and plastic materials.
- an adhesive body exists in a form wound around a predetermined support portion, such as a roll-shaped adhesive tape.
- the leading end of the adhesive tape is pulled out from the place where it is wound in a roll, and the roll is rewound.
- the tip of the adhesive tape is guided to stick to the surface of the adherend.
- a base material is used in which a release treatment is applied to the back side of the rolled adhesive tape, which overlaps with each other and contacts the adhesive surface of the adhesive tape.
- a predetermined guide device is used in order to prevent deformation such as bending at the portion of the adhesive tape pulled out from the roll during the application operation. That is, the adhesive tape pulled out from the roll is guided by the guide member so as to pass through a predetermined path and be straightly paid out toward the surface of the adherend.
- the adhesive tape is pulled out from the tip of the holder that stores the roll-shaped adhesive tape, and the adhesive tape is pulled out by moving the holder while pressing the adhesive tape against the adherend with the roller provided at the tip.
- an adhesive tape applying device that applies the adhesive tape to the adherend by applying the adhesive tape to the adherend with the peripheral wall surrounding the hole (see Patent Document 3).
- the sticking device described in Patent Document 3 aligns the direction of the adhesive tape with a roller provided in the lead-out section before the adhesive tape is drawn out from the lead-out section. That is, since the tip portion that contributes to the sticking is only one side of the peripheral wall surrounding the rectangular hole that pushes the side of the base material of the adhesive tape that does not have the adhesive layer, only a straight line can be drawn. Also, the adhesive tape may wobble within the width of the rectangular hole.
- the tension applied to the long adhesive is suppressed to a relatively small amount, and before the long adhesive is cut, the position on the upstream side sufficiently distant from the cutting point of the long adhesive and the nozzle. can be fixed with a chuck or the like.
- the tip of the long adhesive when the tip of the long adhesive is first attached to the adherend, by pressing the tip of the long adhesive against the adherend, the force in the reverse direction from the tip side is applied to the long adhesive.
- the long adhesive may slip into the nozzle before the tip sticks to the adherend. If the sticking of the tip of the long adhesive fails due to such slipping, the sticking operation must be interrupted and the tip of the long adhesive must be pulled out from the nozzle by hand or the like.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and aims to provide an adhesive guide device capable of preventing the long adhesive from slipping into the nozzle due to the influence of tension fluctuations applied to the long adhesive,
- An object of the present invention is to provide an adhesive application device and an adhesive application method.
- an adhesive guiding device, an adhesive applying device, and an adhesive applying method according to the present invention are characterized by the following (1) to (15).

- An adhesive applying device comprising the adhesive guiding device according to any one of (1) to (3) above.
- the long adhesive is It is possible to prevent the tip portion of the adhesive from slipping into the through hole of the nozzle portion. That is, since the braking member is more likely to stick to the long adhesive or less slippery than the nozzle portion, the braking member prevents the cut long adhesive from flowing backward toward the upstream side. It can be stopped, and the sticking of the elongated adhesive to the nozzle portion can be suppressed. Therefore, it is not necessary to manually pull out the tip of the long adhesive from the nozzle portion to adjust the position every time the adhesive is cut, and the application work can be easily automated.
- the adhesive guide device having the configuration (2) above since the long adhesive is filamentous, it is easy to eliminate restrictions on the sticking direction and the bending direction. Therefore, it is possible to continuously affix the long adhesive in various directions, and it is possible to cope with changes in the shape and orientation of the surface to be affixed.
- the adhesive guiding device having the configuration (3) above, since the through-hole forms a space larger than the outer shape of the long adhesive, the sticking direction of the long adhesive can be varied. Also, the through holes are less likely to block passage of the elongated adhesive.
- the tip of the long adhesive is attached to the object to be attached.
- the elongated adhesive may flow backward in the upstream direction, but this backward flow is blocked by the braking member. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the tip of the long adhesive from slipping into the nozzle.
- the adhesive force generated when the braking member and the long adhesive are adhered is generated when the attachment target and the long adhesive are adhered. greater than the adhesive force to be applied. Therefore, after the tip portion of the long adhesive is attached to the attachment target, the long adhesive can be easily peeled off from the braking member. That is, the elongated adhesive is peeled off from the braking member by the tensile force generated by the relative movement of the nozzle portion and the object to be adhered, and is pulled out downstream, so that the elongated adhesive and the damping member are pulled out. Redeposition in between is prevented.
- the long adhesive when the tension at the tip of the long adhesive changes, the long adhesive may flow backward in the upstream direction. This is prevented by sticking the long adhesive to the peripheral wall of the through hole of the braking member.
- the through hole of the braking member is too large, the long adhesive will not stick to the peripheral wall of the through hole, and there is a possibility that the sticking of the long adhesive to the adherend will fail. If the holes are too small, the long adhesive may not enter and the adhesive may not stick. Therefore, by setting the ratio of the hole diameter of the through hole of the nozzle portion and the hole diameter of the through hole of the braking member to 1:0.7 to 1.5, the success probability of sticking the filamentous pressure-sensitive adhesive can be increased. can.
- the long adhesive can be smoothly fed out toward the nozzle portion using the feeding mechanism. Therefore, it is easy to continuously pull out the tip side of the long adhesive without strongly pulling the tip side of the long adhesive, and the operation of continuously sticking the long adhesive can be efficiently performed. It can be carried out. In addition, if a portion of the long adhesive is held by the holding mechanism during cutting, it is possible to prevent tension fluctuations from being transmitted to the delivery mechanism, and the long adhesive is bent or deformed in the middle. It is possible to avoid the occurrence of abnormalities such as
- the long adhesive is pressed onto a desired portion of the object to be adhered by pressing the pressing portion of the nozzle portion against the object to be adhered.
- the elongated adhesive can be attached while maintaining the applied state.
- the pressing portions are formed at a plurality of locations on the outer periphery of the through-hole or over the entirety of the through-hole, when the long adhesive is thread-like, the sticking direction can be easily changed midway. .
- the elongated adhesive contacts the peripheral wall of the through-hole in the braking member regardless of the direction of deflection that occurs when the elongated adhesive flows backward. Then, it becomes an adhesive state, and the backflow of the long adhesive can be restricted. Further, since the braking member has an inverted conical shape that can be fitted into the funnel-shaped concave portion and is movable with respect to the nozzle portion, the braking member does not excessively restrict the movement of the adhesive. can be avoided. That is, when the long adhesive flows backward, the braking member is appropriately separated from the funnel-shaped concave portion, and it is possible to prevent the long adhesive from bending into a complicated shape that is difficult to automatically repair. In addition, when the long adhesive moves forward, the braking member returns to the funnel-shaped concave portion to facilitate detachment of the long adhesive.
- the surfaces of the spheres easily come into contact with the elongated adhesive passing through adjacent positions and become adhered, thereby preventing the backflow of the elongated adhesive. can be restricted. Also, since the spheres are rotatable, it is possible to avoid excessive restriction of the movement of the elongate adhesive by the spheres. This makes it possible to prevent the long adhesive from bending into a complicated shape that is difficult to automatically repair.
- the elongated adhesive contacts and adheres to the surface of the rod-shaped body, regardless of the direction of deflection that occurs when the elongated adhesive flows backward. state to limit backflow of the long adhesive.
- the rod-shaped body has a shape that can be fitted into the recess of the nozzle part and is movable or rotatable with respect to the nozzle part, the rod-shaped body restricts the movement of the long adhesive too much. can be avoided. That is, when the long adhesive flows backward, the rod-shaped body is appropriately separated from the recess, and it is possible to prevent the long adhesive from bending into a complicated shape that is difficult to automatically repair. In addition, when the long adhesive moves forward, the rod-shaped body returns to the recess, making it easier to remove the long adhesive.
- the long adhesive is paid out from the winding body toward the downstream side by the action of the assist mechanism. Therefore, the long adhesive can be drawn out without applying a large tension to the long adhesive by the nozzle, and the relative movement between the nozzle and the object to be stuck allows the continuous adhesive to be applied. It becomes easy to pull out and stick the long adhesive.
- the positioning mechanism adjusts the positional relationship between the nozzle section and the object to be adhered, thereby facilitating automatic application work. Moreover, since the absorption mechanism adjusts the relative position in the pressing direction, it is possible to stabilize the tension applied to the long adhesive.
- the tip of the long adhesive is prevented from slipping into the through hole of the nozzle section.
- the long adhesive can be attached to the attachment target. Therefore, when the tension is likely to fluctuate, for example, at the start of pasting or at the time of cutting after pasting, the tip of the long adhesive slips into the through hole of the nozzle section, preventing pasting. can be prevented.

- FIG. 1 shows a structural example of the main part of a filamentous adhesive applying device 200 including the adhesive guiding device of the present invention.
- the filamentous pressure-sensitive adhesive applying device 200 shown in FIG. 1 has a function of automatically performing an operation for continuously applying a long length of filamentous pressure-sensitive adhesive 2 to a desired site on a desired adherend H.
- the adhesive guide device of the present invention can also be used when an operator manually attaches a long adhesive such as the filamentous adhesive 2 or the like.
- the adhesive guide device of the present invention can also be used when a long tape-like adhesive is applied instead of the thread-like adhesive 2, for example.
- the adherend H to which the filamentous adhesive 2 is attached for example, a plate-like component is assumed.
- a part with a curved surface or a part with a complicated shape can be used as the adherend H.
- the adherend H is placed on a movable table integrated with the filamentous pressure-sensitive adhesive applying device 200 . Also, the position of this movable table can be moved in the front-rear direction along the X-axis.
- the attachment plate 201 of the filamentous adhesive applying device 200 arranged above the adherend H is movable in the horizontal direction in FIG. 1 along the Y axis, and further in the vertical direction along the Z axis. can be moved to A nozzle 107 for guiding the filamentous pressure-sensitive adhesive 2 to a position facing the adherend H is arranged at the lower end of the mounting plate 201 as shown in FIG.
- the relative positional relationship between the tip of the nozzle 107 and the adherend portion of the adherend H can be changed by 3. Alignment is possible for each of the axial (X, Y, Z) directions.
- the thread-like adhesive 2 wound and held in a roll shape is pulled out from the roll and introduced from the upper left in FIG. 1 to the mounting plate 201 side. Then, the thread-like adhesive 2 passes through the mechanism of the thread-like adhesive application device 200 shown in FIG. The details of the mechanism of the thread-like adhesive application device 200 will be described later.
- the thread-like adhesive 2 pulled out from the tip opening 107c of the nozzle 107 is pressed against the adherend H by the tip of the nozzle 107, and the adhesive force of the thread-like adhesive 2 itself pushes the opposite surface of the adherend H. stick to.
- the nozzle 107 since the nozzle 107 has a material and structure that makes it difficult for the thread-like adhesive 2 to stick, the nozzle 107 allows the thread-like adhesive 2 to move relative to each other. Therefore, when the mounting plate 201 moves in the Y-axis direction, for example, with the tip of the adhesive thread 2 pressed against the adherend H, the adhesive thread 2 is gradually pulled out from the upstream side by tension. As the adherend H and the nozzle 107 move relative to each other, the drawn-out thread-like adhesive 2 sticks to the surface of the adherend H in a linear shape in the Y-axis direction.
- the thread-like adhesive 2 is gradually pulled out from the upstream side due to the tension.
- the adherend H and the nozzle 107 move relative to each other, the thread-like pressure-sensitive adhesive 2 that is pulled out sticks to the surface of the adherend H in, for example, a linear shape in the X-axis direction.
- the mounting plate 201 and the nozzle 107 are structured to be movable in the Z-axis direction. Therefore, even if the surface of the adherend H is not flat, the tip position of the nozzle 107 moves in the Z-axis direction according to the surface shape of the adherend H. can be kept pressed against the surface of the adherend H. Therefore, the filamentous adhesive application device 200 can continuously affix the filamentous adhesive 2 according to the shape of the adherend H.
- the rear end portion of the attached thread-like adhesive 2 is cut and separated from the adhesive thread applying device 200 .
- the filamentous adhesive 2 can be cut at a portion between the surface of the adherend H and the tip opening 107 c of the nozzle 107 .
- the force on the tip side of the filamentous adhesive 2 attached to the adherend H is released, so that the filamentous adhesive 2 undergoes a sudden change in tension.
- the tip side of the thread-like adhesive 2 slips into the inside of the nozzle 107, causing entanglement of the thread-like adhesive 2 and the like. situation is likely to occur.
- the thread-like adhesive 2 is cut using the air scissors 109, if the thread-like adhesive 2 is held between the cut portion and the tip opening 107c using, for example, an appropriate chuck, the thread-like adhesive 2 can be cut. It is possible to avoid sudden changes in tension in the filamentous pressure-sensitive adhesive 2 . That is, it is possible to prevent the filamentous adhesive 2 from getting into the nozzle 107 .
- the front and rear end portions of the filamentous adhesive 2 attached to the adherend H are formed with useless areas that are not used.
- the length of this useless area that is, the surplus length becomes longer when the chuck is arranged on the tip side of the nozzle 107 . Therefore, if priority is given to reducing the excess length that occurs when the thread-like adhesive 2 is applied, the chuck cannot be arranged on the tip side of the nozzle 107 .
- the filamentous adhesive 2 is gripped by the roller 208 when the filamentous adhesive 2 is cut, the behavior of the filamentous adhesive 2 generated in the section between the roller 208 and the tip of the nozzle 107 due to the change in tension can be changed. In order to stop it, further ingenuity is required. If this countermeasure against behavior is insufficient, the tip side of the thread-like adhesive 2 will flow backwards toward the upstream side as the tension changes during cutting, and the thread-like adhesive 2 will slip into the nozzle 107, causing the next automatic application. make installation difficult.
- the tip side of the cut adhesive thread 2 flows back upstream and slips into the nozzle 107 as a behavior associated with a change in tension that occurs when the thread-like adhesive 2 is cut. It has a function to prevent abnormal conditions.
- the thread-like adhesive applying device 200 can easily repeat the work of applying the thread-like adhesive 2 continuously, and the work can be easily automated.
- it is not necessary to grip the filamentous adhesive 2 at the tip side of the nozzle 107 when cutting the filamentous adhesive 2 it is possible to prevent an increase in the extra length that occurs during the sticking operation of the filamentous adhesive 2.

- the adhesive guide device 10 shown in FIG. 2 includes a nozzle 11 and a top 12.
- the nozzle 11 shown in FIG. 2 can be attached to the filamentous pressure-sensitive adhesive application device 200 in place of the nozzle 107 shown in FIG.
- the adhesive guiding device 10 shown in FIG. 2 can guide the filamentous adhesive 2 fed by the filamentous adhesive applying device 200 to a position facing the adherend H by the nozzle 11 . Further, when the filamentous adhesive 2 pulled out from the tip opening 11c of the nozzle 11 is pressed against the adherend H by the tip 11d of the nozzle 11, the filamentous adhesive 2 is attached to a desired portion of the adherend H by its adhesive force. be able to. In addition, since the tip 11d of the nozzle 11 has a material and structure that makes it difficult to stick to the filamentous adhesive 2, the nozzle 11 and/or the adherend H are pressed while the tip 11d presses the filamentous adhesive 2 against the adherend H.
- the nozzle 11 has a through hole 11a in its center for guiding the filamentous adhesive 2 to a desired movement path.
- the through hole 11a penetrates vertically from the upper portion of the nozzle 11 to the tip opening 11c, and is formed in a cylindrical shape with a constant diameter except for the upper portion.
- the diameter of the through-hole 11a is, for example, 1 mm, which is sufficiently larger than the outer diameter of the filamentous pressure-sensitive adhesive 2 .
- the material of the nozzle 11 for example, a resin such as PTFE (Poly Tetra Fluoro Ethylene) can be used.
- PTFE Poly Tetra Fluoro Ethylene
- the peripheral wall of the through hole 11a of the nozzle 11 has a structure to which the thread-like adhesive 2 is relatively difficult to stick.
- a funnel-shaped top receiving groove 11 b is arranged above the nozzle 11 .
- the piece housing groove 11b communicates with the through hole 11a. That is, the piece receiving groove 11b is formed in such a shape as to expand from the upper portion of the through hole 11a toward the upper surface of the nozzle 11 along a slope with a constant inclination angle.
- the piece 12 of the adhesive guide device 10 is formed in an approximately inverted cone shape or an inverted truncated cone shape, as shown in FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b). That is, the outer peripheral surface of the top 12 is formed so as to expand at a constant inclination from the lower end surface 12b toward the upper end surface 12c.
- the cone apex angle of the top 12 is, for example, 60 degrees.
- the outer shape of the piece 12 is formed so as to substantially match the shape and size of the piece housing groove 11b of the nozzle 11 shown in FIG.
- the top 12 is arranged directly above the nozzle 11 .
- the top 12 has a through hole 12a with a constant diameter in the center.
- the through hole 12a has a substantially columnar shape. Further, in this embodiment, the diameter of the through hole 12a is formed slightly larger than the diameter of the through hole 11a of the nozzle 11 .
- the upper portion of the through-hole 12a has an upper opening 12d whose diameter gradually expands upward to facilitate the insertion of the thread-like adhesive 2 into the through-hole 12a.
- stainless steel such as SUS304 can be used as SUS304.
- the piece 12 is formed in a shape that can fit into the piece housing groove 11b of the nozzle 11, but since the piece 12 and the piece housing groove 11b are not connected to each other, the piece 12 can move freely with respect to the nozzle 11. be able to. However, the movable range of the top 12 is restricted to some extent, and the top 12 is prevented from falling out of the nozzle 11 . This is because, in the filamentous adhesive applying device 200, the nozzle 11 is fixed to the slider 213, the top 12 has a shape that can be fitted into the top housing groove 11b, and has a certain weight, so that the nozzle 12 is lifted from the nozzle 11. This is because the top 12 moves back to the top accommodation groove 11b. In order to regulate the movable range of the top 12, the periphery of the top 12 may be surrounded by a support member or cover (not shown).
- the peripheral wall of the through hole 12a of the top 12 has a characteristic that the thread-like adhesive 2 is more likely to stick to it than the peripheral wall of the through hole 11a, or that it is less slippery.
- the tip of the filamentous adhesive 2 flows backward and the nozzle 11 is closed. It becomes possible to suppress the behavior of slipping into the through hole 11a.
- Adhesive strength of the filamentous pressure-sensitive adhesive 2 to the top 12 and the nozzle 11 was measured by the following method.
- a double-faced tape (No. 5000NS, manufactured by Nitto Denko Corporation) with a width of 3 mm was lined with a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film with a thickness of 25 ⁇ m to prepare a sample piece.
- PET polyethylene terephthalate
- the adhesive surface of this sample piece was press-bonded to the upper surfaces of the top 12 and the nozzle 11, respectively, to prepare a measurement sample. Crimping was performed by reciprocating a 2 kg roller once.
- the adhesive force to the stainless steel top 12 was 1.47 N/3 mm, and the adhesive force to the PTFE nozzle 11 was 0.72 N/3 mm. It was also shown that it is easy to stick to the frame 12.
- the filamentous pressure-sensitive adhesive 2 In order to attach the filamentous pressure-sensitive adhesive 2 to the adherend H, the filamentous pressure-sensitive adhesive is applied from the initial state in which the tip of the filamentous pressure-sensitive adhesive 2 contacts the surface of the adherend H as shown in FIG. It is necessary to press the filamentous pressure-sensitive adhesive 2 against the adherend H in order to attach the adhesive 2 to the adherend H. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 5A, the nozzle 107 is moved in a direction approaching the adherend H, for example, in the vertical direction N1.
- the nozzle 107 may be moved in the diagonal direction N2 shown in (a) of FIG. 6, for example.
- the nozzle 107 can be moved in the oblique direction N2 by simultaneously moving the nozzle 107 in the vertical direction and moving it in the horizontal direction.
- the direction of the force applied to the tip 2x of the filamentous adhesive 2 during movement is also oblique. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the tip 2x of the filamentous adhesive 2 from being pushed into the tip opening 107c side, and as shown in FIG. It becomes easy to stick by pressing against.
- the filamentous adhesive 2 is filamentous and easily bent, due to the bending (bending) of the filamentous adhesive 2 due to the influence of the force F, the deformed portions 2a and 2b occur upstream of the tip 2x.
- the deformed portion 2a of the filamentous adhesive 2 sticks to the top 12 to generate resistance, and the resistance of the deformed portion 2a prevents the backward flow of the filamentous adhesive 2 in the upstream direction. Therefore, backflow movement of the thread-like adhesive 2 is prevented before the tip 2x of the thread-like adhesive 2 slips into the through hole 11a from the tip opening 11c.
- the filamentous adhesive 2 is filamentous and easily bent, the filamentous adhesive 2 is flexed under the influence of the force F, so that the deformed portions 2a and 2b are generated upstream of the tip 2x.
- the peripheral wall of the through-hole 12a of the piece 12 sticks to the thread-like adhesive 2 more easily than the through-hole 11a of the nozzle 11, the deformation portion 2a of the thread-like adhesive 2 adheres to the piece 12 with a stronger force than the deformation portion 2b. It is assumed that it will stick.
- the deformed portion 2a of the filamentous adhesive 2 sticks to the top 12 to generate resistance.
- the top 12 since the top 12 can move freely with respect to the top accommodation groove 11b, the top 12 moves against the gravity mg of the top 12 under the influence of the force F transmitted from the deformed portion 2a of the filamentous adhesive 2 to the top 12. go upwards. As a result, as shown in FIG. 8(a), the top 12 moves to an upper position away from the top receiving groove 11b and stops in an inclined state.
- the movement of the filamentous adhesive 2 flowing backward in the upstream direction is appropriately controlled. can provide a strong resistance. This prevents the deformed portion 2b from sticking to the nozzle 11 and prevents the tip 2x of the filamentous adhesive 2 from slipping into the through hole 11a from the tip opening 11c.
- This tension eliminates the bending of the deformed portion 2b as shown in FIG. 8(b). Also, under the influence of the tension applied to the thread-like adhesive 2 from the tip 2x side and the gravity mg of the top 12, the top 12 moves so as to be pulled back to a predetermined position in the top accommodating groove 11b. At the same time, when the tension applied to the filamentous adhesive 2 from the tip 2x side becomes greater than the sticking force between the deformed portion 2a and the top 12, the deformed portion 2a is separated from the top 12 and the filamentous adhesive 2 is bent. is canceled.
- the tip 2x of the filamentous pressure-sensitive adhesive 2 is reliably attached to the adherend H as shown in FIG. can be done.
- top 12 is previously fixed in the top receiving groove 11b of the nozzle 11 is also conceivable.
- the top 12 can move freely within a predetermined range, it is considered easier to appropriately adjust the resistance applied to the filamentous adhesive 2 against the force F applied to the tip 2x.
- the probability of successful application at the initial application position in each of the filamentous adhesive applicator 200 when the top 12 moves, when the top 12 is fixed, and when the top 12 does not exist is 100%. , 70%, and 60%.
- the top 12 used in this experiment had a weight of 1.7178 g, a diameter of the through hole 12a of 1.0 mm, and a height from the lower end surface 12b to the upper end surface 12c of 7 mm.
- the sticking success probability is high when the top 12 has a certain weight and the diameter of the through hole 12a is not too wide so that the filamentous adhesive 2 can be inserted.
- the through hole 11a of the nozzle 11 has a diameter of 1 mm
- the through hole 12a of the top 12 preferably has a diameter of 0.7 mm to 1.5 mm.
- the diameter of the through hole 11a of the nozzle 11 is appropriately set with respect to the diameter of the filamentous adhesive 2, as will be described later. It will be set appropriately for the diameter.
- the deformed portion 2a of the filamentous adhesive 2 and the like can be penetrated. It can be attached to the peripheral wall of the hole 12a to prevent the tip 2x from slipping into the through hole 11a. Therefore, the sticking success probability can be increased.
- the roller 211 shown in FIG. is slightly moved to the left side, the filamentous adhesive 2 can be pulled up to the upstream side. As a result, the extra length of the filamentous adhesive 2 protruding downward from the tip opening 107c of the nozzle 107 can be reduced.
- the filamentous adhesive applying device 200 employing the adhesive guiding device 10 shown in FIG. moves diagonally upward. Therefore, the piece 12 sticks to the filamentous adhesive 2 to give tension, and the movement of the filamentous adhesive 2 can be regulated.
- FIG. 9 shows the configuration of the main part of an adhesive guiding device 10A that can be mounted on the filamentous adhesive applying device 200 shown in FIG.
- the adhesive guide device 10A shown in FIG. 9 includes a sphere 13 having a function of restricting movement of the filamentous adhesive 2 in the reverse flow direction.
- the sphere 13 is made of, for example, the same material as the top 12, and the surface of the sphere 13 has a material and configuration that makes it easier to stick to the filamentous adhesive 2 or less slippery than the nozzle 11A.
- the sphere 13 is placed in a sphere holding space 16 formed between an upper cover member 14 and a lower cover member 15 arranged vertically, and is freely rotatable within the sphere holding space 16. Supported. Further, the movable range of the spherical body 13 is restricted so that any part of the surface of the spherical body 13 is always held at a position adjacent to the passage of the filamentous adhesive 2 . A plurality of spheres 13 may be arranged in the sphere holding space 16 .
- the upper cover member 14 and the lower cover member 15 are fixed by bolts 17 and integrated. Therefore, for example, even if the adhesive guide device 10 is arranged in the horizontal direction or is arranged upside down, the spheres 13 will not drop out of the sphere holding space 16 .

<粘着剤案内装置の利用環境の具体例>
本発明の粘着剤案内装置を含む糸状粘着剤貼付装置200の主要部の構成例を図1に示す。
図1に示した糸状粘着剤貼付装置200は、所望の被着体H上の所望部位に長尺の糸状粘着剤2を連続的に貼り付けるための作業を自動的に行う機能を有している。勿論、本発明の粘着剤案内装置は糸状粘着剤2等の長尺粘着剤の貼り付け作業を作業者が手作業で行う場合にも利用できる。また、糸状粘着剤2の代わりに例えばテープ状の長尺粘着剤を貼り付ける場合にも本発明の粘着剤案内装置を利用できる。
-<粘着剤案内装置の構成例-1>
図1に示した糸状粘着剤貼付装置200に搭載可能な粘着剤案内装置10の主要部の構成を図2に示す。また、粘着剤案内装置10に含まれるノズル11の断面構成を図3に示す。また、粘着剤案内装置10に含まれるコマ12の構成を図4に示す。図4の(a)は縦断面図、図4の(b)は斜視図である。
糸状粘着剤2のコマ12及びノズル11に対する粘着力を、以下の方法により測定した。3mm幅の両面テープ(NO.5000NS、日東電工株式会社製)に、厚み25μmのポリエチレンテレフタレート(PET)フィルムを裏打ちして、試料片として準備した。次に、23℃、50%RHの環境下にて、この試料片の粘着面をコマ12及びノズル11の各上面にそれぞれ圧着して、測定サンプルを作製した。圧着は、2kgのローラーを1往復することにより行った。このように作成した各測定サンプルを、23℃、50%RHの環境下に30分放置した後、引張試験機を使用して、引っ張り速度50mm/分、剥離角度180度の条件で、剥離強度[N/3mm]を測定した。
図1に示した糸状粘着剤貼付装置200において、糸状粘着剤2の先端を最初に被着体Hに貼り付ける際に発生する糸状粘着剤2の挙動の例を図5及び図6にそれぞれ示す。
図2の粘着剤案内装置10を採用した糸状粘着剤貼付装置200において糸状粘着剤2等に発生する挙動の例を図7、図8の(a)及び図8の(b)に示す。なお、図7、図8の(a)及び図8の(b)のような状況が実際に発生することは、試作した糸状粘着剤貼付装置200において確認されている。
糸状粘着剤2を最初に貼り付ける際のノズル11の移動により、あるいは糸状粘着剤2の切断時の張力変化に伴って、図7に示す矢印のように糸状粘着剤2の先端2xには、ノズル11の先端開口11cに向かう方向の力Fが加わる。
糸状粘着剤2を最初に貼り付ける際のノズル11の移動により、あるいは糸状粘着剤2の切断時の張力変化に伴って、図8の(a)に示す矢印のように糸状粘着剤2の先端2xには、ノズル11の先端開口11cに向かう方向の力Fが加わる。
ここで、コマ12の貫通孔12aの周壁はノズル11の貫通孔11aよりも糸状粘着剤2に貼り付きやすいので、糸状粘着剤2の変形部位2aは変形部位2bよりも強い力でコマ12に貼り付くと考えられる。
コマ12による抵抗力を受けた状態のままノズル11を被着体Hに近づけることで、図8の(a)の状態から、ノズル11の先端11dが糸状粘着剤2の先端2xを被着体Hに押圧する状態に移行することができる。更に、図8の(b)に示した矢印のようにノズル11を左右方向に移動すると、先端2x側から糸状粘着剤2を引き出すように糸状粘着剤2に張力を与えることができる。
図1に示した糸状粘着剤貼付装置200に搭載可能な粘着剤案内装置10Aの主要部の構成を図9に示す。
図1に示した糸状粘着剤貼付装置200に搭載可能な粘着剤案内装置10Bの主要部の構成を図10に示す。図10に示した粘着剤案内装置10Bは、図9に示した粘着剤案内装置10Aの変形例であり、球体13の代わりに棒状体18を採用している点のみ構成が異なっている。
図10に示した粘着剤案内装置10Bは、棒状体18が上カバー部材14及び下カバー部材15に挟まれた部位に形成されている棒状体保持空間16A内に保持されていたが、上カバー部材14及び下カバー部材15を備えなくてもよい。例えば、図2に示した粘着剤案内装置10において、コマ12に代えて、棒状体18が、取付プレート201の前面におけるノズル11の上方に、直接固定されてもよい。
図1に示した糸状粘着剤貼付装置200の詳細について以下に説明する。
糸状粘着剤貼付装置200全体の構成を図11に示す。糸状粘着剤貼付装置200は、糸状粘着剤2を対象物(被着体)に押し当てて貼り付けるものであり、図11に示すように、供給部AUと、押圧機構BU(ノズル)と、搬送部CUと、位置決め部DUと、を主要な構成要素として備えている。
-<変形例-1>
図13は、変形例の糸状粘着剤貼付装置200Aを示す斜視図であり、図14は、この糸状粘着剤貼付装置200Aにおいて開閉フレーム235を開いた状態を示す正面図である。糸状粘着剤貼付装置200Aは、本体フレーム230、把持部231、及び、糸状粘着剤2を巻取可能な巻取体240が保持される開閉フレーム235を主に備える。
図16は、変形例の糸状粘着剤貼付装置200Bを示す模式図である。糸状粘着剤貼付装置200Bは、取付板250と、取付板250に設けられたローラー251、252、及びノズル107とを備え、糸状粘着剤2を巻取可能な巻取体260が、垂直面内で回転可能に取付板250に保持される。糸状粘着剤貼付装置200Bは、例えば取付板250が支持フレームにより卓上に固定配置されて使用される、据え置き型貼付装置である。
。
図17は、前述の各糸状粘着剤貼付装置200、200A等において使用される糸状粘着剤2の一部分を拡大した状態を示す。糸状粘着剤2は、線状の芯材2cと、芯材2cの長手方向の表面を被覆する粘着剤層2dからなる線状の粘着体によって構成される。
2)非粘着層がない粘着体+はく離ライナー
3)非粘着層により被覆された粘着体
4)非粘着層により被覆された粘着体+はく離ライナー
上記2)及び4)において、はく離ライナーは圧着前に剥離される。
その後、被着体に接着された糸状粘着剤2から仮支持体を剥離除去して、糸状粘着剤2を露出させる。このようにして、被着体に所望の形状で糸状粘着剤2を貼付する。
例えば図2に示した粘着剤案内装置10においては、ノズル11が被着体Hに接近するときに糸状粘着剤2に加わる力の影響で、あるいは切断時に発生する張力変化の影響で糸状粘着剤2が逆流するのをコマ12の働きにより抑制できる。すなわち、糸状粘着剤2の通路においてノズル11よりもコマ12の方が糸状粘着剤2に貼り付きやすい、あるいは滑りにくいので、糸状粘着剤2の逆流時の撓みにより、糸状粘着剤2がコマ12に貼り付いて糸状粘着剤2の動きを抑制する。これにより、糸状粘着剤2の先端がノズル11の貫通孔11a内部に潜り込むのを防止できる。そのため、糸状粘着剤2の貼り付け作業を効率よく行うことが可能になり、作業の自動化も容易になる。
